Those who are willing to brave the early morning haze and long lines — warmed by the still-digesting feast in their stomachs — are rewarded with the chance to save (and spend) tons of money at stores of all sorts. But you can't go out unprepared into the shopping wilderness that is Black Friday. Arm yourself with your iOS device and let these eight apps be the compass that guides you happily to ultimate savings.</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/8_helpful_apps_black_friday_shoppers#commentsGalleryAppLifeAppsbargainsBlack FridayDealsiOSsalesshoppersshoppingstoresThanksgivingFeaturesiPadiPhoneiPodThu, 28 Nov 2013 22:00:00 +0000AJ Dellinger18742 at http://www.maclife.comPre-Holiday iPhone 5c Price Wars Have Already Begunhttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/preholiday_iphone_5c_price_wars_have_already_begun

Retailer Radio Shack quickly decided to match that price in a promotion scheduled to run throughout October, although in both cases the buyer needs to sign a two-year agreement to get the handset so cheaply.<br /><br />Now Walmart has come along with a deal that's $5 less, undercutting competitors to a mere $45, down from the $79 the big-box retailer has been offering since the handset launched on Sept. 20. Buyers will also have to venture into a retail store, however, since the iPhone 5c isn't being offered online.<br /><br />How low can they go? That remains to be seen, but those interested in the iPhone 5s will have a much harder time seeking out a deal — not only does the gray, silver, or gold handset remain elusive at retail, but the best price, which can be found at Walmart, knocks a comparatively tiny $10 off the normal $199 entry-level model.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

But if you want the absolute best deal, head to Walmart.<br /><br /><a href="http://mashable.com/2013/06/22/walmart-iphone-5-price-drop/" target="_blank">Mashable reported Saturday</a> that retail giant Walmart has once again dropped the price of its iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S models from Verizon Wireless, AT&amp;T or Sprint, but this time the lower prices appear to be permanent.<br /><br />With a new two-year agreement, the 16GB iPhone 5 is now down to $129 (from $189), while the 16GB iPhone 4S is a wallet-friendly $39 (from $89). While the iPhone 5 was a couple bucks cheaper back in December, this is certainly the cheapest it's ever been without a trade-in.<br /><br />Walmart confirmed to Mashable that the price cuts are indeed permanent, suggesting the retailer has excess inventory or Apple is simply using the channel to unload stock ahead of the next iPhone, which is expected this fall alongside iOS 7.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.
